From my reading of the docs I understand that there's
problems with the w32 version passing a com port to a dos
based bbs, but could be wrong.  I"d run the dos version of
btto be safe.


Iirc you were asking questions about exit errorlevels for
bbs callers to your pots.  I"d run my bbs under bbs spawn
instead of bbs exit.  OR at least under batch.  IN either
case you'll need to create spawnbbs.bat.  SPawnbbs receives
info about which com port, baud rates, etc. as arguments.
sEe binkleyterm docs for which argument is what and load sf
appropriately, have after caller jobs in spawnbbs.bat which
then returns nicely to your main batch for you.

HOpe that helps.



Regards,
           Richard
